Description
This reflective collection gathers Roger Angell’s graceful, often humorous observations on aging, memory, family, love, loss, and the persistent desire to keep living fully. From childhood recollections and New Yorker memories to encounters with illness, late-life romance, and the small absurdities of daily life, Angell finds warmth and meaning in both the ordinary and the extraordinary. Written with wit, candor, and emotional generosity, the book offers an unsentimental yet deeply hopeful portrait of growing older.
